Chapter 816: Prelude
"From the mountains of Kasha and Garol......"
Edith looked up at the group of gnomes and goblins standing in front of her, trying to pretend to be serious, but in the eyes of a human being, the two races felt a little funny no matter how they looked at it.
"Do you have anything to do with Sister Serena?" Edith asked softly, sighing.
The leaders of the two teams stared at each other, and after hearing Edith's inquiry, they looked over a little blankly, and it took a while to react.
At this moment, one of the goblins standing at the end of the line suddenly raised his hand, "Ah, we're here for it!!"
"Shut up Rogge!"
It didn't even take the goblin's leader's order to give the goblin's order, and the other goblins had already swarmed up and covered the goblin's mouth.
"We're here to learn from your country how to make magical machines!"
With that, the gnome leader glanced defiantly at the goblins.
The goblin leader slapped himself in the face, and at this time, Rog, who had just broken free, muttered from behind, "You should have let me say ......"
Taking a deep breath, the goblin leader looked up at the girl sitting behind the desk with a strange expression on her face, raised her hand to arrange her collar, and said in a shrill voice, "This young lady, our purpose is the same as that of the gnomes, can you introduce us to Serena Maid Lord?"
Edith tilted her head and thought about it, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work, because Sister Serena has been doing something very important recently, but if you just want to learn the technology related to magic energy machinery, I can make the decision to promise you." ”
The two team leaders, who were originally a little depressed, suddenly looked up when they heard this sentence and shouted in surprise: "Really?"
Seeing that these short men in front of her suddenly went from low to happy, and it only took half a second to almost dance to the point of dancing, Edith couldn't understand how these two races had been able to survive until now.
"So, what exactly do you want to learn?" Edith tapped her index finger on the table, "Decide first, and then negotiate the price, right?"
Hearing this, the two team leaders were stunned for a moment, and they turned their heads sideways to discuss with their subordinates in a low voice.
The goblin side ended the discussion first, and the goblin leader turned his head, raised his head, and looked at the girl who had already shown a bit of a strong temperament with a pair of dark yellow cloudy eyes, "Uh, Miss Edith, that ......"
The goblin leader paused, and the gnome stopped discussing and looked at him.
"Huh?" Edith's brow twitched.
"All, all?" the goblin leader asked cautiously, "Excuse me, is that okay?"
"All......"
Edith took a breath and glanced at the gnomes, seeing that they didn't show surprise, and it seemed that they had similar thoughts.
"No way!"
Goblins and gnomes alike waited with bated breath for the outcome, but Edith shook her head, completely disillusioning the unrealistic illusion.
Both teams were a little disappointed, but it was to be expected.
Rather, if the Duchy of Sorrow is willing to hand over all its technology to them, that is the most suspicious thing!
At this time, Edith suddenly spoke again: "By the way, there is something I want to ask. ”
"Miss Edith, may you ask!" said the two team leaders in unison.
Edith looked at them and rubbed her index finger on the table slightly, "I remember, the Church of Fortune just spread the news and went out, right? Why did you arrive in Winde City so quickly? Could it be that you had expected this for a long time, so you set off early?"
This question silenced the two leaders, as it would take at least a year to get from the Kasha and the Garol Mountains to the Duchy of Screaming Winds, and there could not be too many stops along the way.
Except for the Principality of the Howling Wind, the roads in other countries are very rough, and there are many things to encounter on the road, and a year is short enough.
"Here's the thing, Miss Edith. ”
The dwarf leader straightened his chest and said seriously: "We actually set off a year ago, we didn't know the news when we set off, we just wanted to learn technology to come here!
"So do we!"
The goblin leader took half a step forward, but his face was even more grim, "Kasha needs these skills, inferior gunpowder and artillery alone can't protect us at all, there are only a few goblins who can become professionals, we goblins are naturally weak, if we don't find other paths, Kashya will be swallowed up by the Kurkut Empire sooner or later!" This time, we have come with an exchange of friendship and interests from Kasya, Miss Edith, please make a table and write on it what we can buy, we need to study and discuss this, please!"
Edith blinked, is the situation on the continent so grim now?
Not only Kasha, but even the Garol mountains could have something wrong?
Most of the Garol Mountains located in the western part of the Mendez continent are bordered by the Free City-State Alliance, and the rest are bordered by some small principalities and small kingdoms, so it stands to reason that nothing should happen, after all, neither the Free City-States Alliance nor those kingdoms and principalities can be formally united.
Not only did the conditions itself not allow it, but neither the Eagle Duchy nor the Moore Merchant Federation would allow this to happen.
But now it seems......
"Of course, if it's a business, it's necessary!" Edith said with a smile.
Now that the Mendez continent has become a muddy water, every country has its own internal and external troubles, and if these things cannot be dealt with in a timely manner, the situation on the mainland will become more and more chaotic.
The internal chaos is probably due to the uneven distribution of benefits, because there are not so many benefits to be distributed in the country, so wouldn't it be good to obtain new benefits and then distribute them?
At such times, Edith couldn't help but think of what Serena's sister had told herself, that the rulers of this continent were inclined to use foreign wars to divert internal contradictions, and throughout history, almost many foreign wars that broke out suddenly in peacetime were for this reason.
It's not that they won't use other methods to solve it, it's just that this is the least loss of benefits for them, and they can even get more benefits because of it.
Knights are eager for glory, nobles are eager for land, commoners are eager for officials and knights, monarchs are eager for peace in the country, and their rule can continue, this series of desires is the main reason for the outbreak of foreign wars, and 'hatred' has to be ranked second!
However, all this has nothing to do with the Duchy of Sorrowful Wind, their country is located in the northernmost region south of the Black Forest, to the east is a steppe, to the south is the Kingdom of Kolo, the lords of the kingdom understand their strength, and the Kingdom of Kurt in the west does not dare to disturb them after seeing the 'miracle barrier' on the northern border.
It doesn't matter how chaotic the situation on the continent is, so they just need to keep the continent peaceful enough.
If the Kasha and Garol Mountains are strong enough, then the surrounding countries will not target them, then at least the war can be delayed for a while.
What the Principality of Sorrow lacks most now is development time, so Edith only needs to buy time!
These thoughts flashed through her mind, and Edith narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Next, I'll have someone take you to visit the factory area first, and after the visit, you can make your own decision, okay?"
After a moment's hesitation, the gnome leader and the goblin leader looked at each other and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Miss Edith!
